good news to hear it is making that good of a recovery.
It isn't so much of a recovery as it is there is a surplus of returning hatchery fish. All of our seasons here are based on excess hatchery returns that they want removed to limit impact on native spawning fish.
It is very cool to have a season though, might have to go down and try my luck. FYI bait is allowed as well, first time in YEARS bait could be used on the Wenatchee.
